Did they decide having police cordon off that lane was too much of a hassle?
Edit: found a few articles - guy in the bucket is OK. He went really still after that so I was concerned.

He likely blacked out from the whiplash. I hope he got checked out at the hospital. Soft tissue injury can take a few days to register, especially whiplash.
Police have poors to beat; they ain't got time for traffic control.
In Massachusetts a police detail is legally mandated any time there is a lane closure so they just get to sleep in their cruiser and it's usually overtime work so they get paid extra.
Wow, this is unjust AND incorrect ...you completely forgot how they also arrest them on false charges and shoot everything that moves. Also nowadays they help to kidnap and deport people.
Next time mention it, or else!!!
Pffff, and if there are protests happening they HAVE to go deal with that to ensure it's unnecessarily escalated and people are oppressed.
Won't SOMEbody think of the poor pigs?
I’ve made traffic control plans for road construction and depending on the locality police are rarely involved with traffic control. This area clearly looks like the state’s DOT right-of-way, and these might be contractors in which case they are required to submit traffic control plans to the DOT and DOT confirm if it for safety. However, contractors have to actually execute the plans in the field. This could be a case of bad plans or a site supervisor who didn’t check the original traffic control plans matched with what was on the ground.
They're idiots. They hardly ever have flaggers or traffic control when they actually should. All those reports do is cya nobody is actually checking to see if they're doing it. Then an accident happens like this and they blame everything on the truck driver when they didn't do their jobs correctly. It should come back on the engineer who approved those workers and didn't check what they were actually doing.
